Overview

Geology
The orebodies of the FFGB occur in a highly prospective early Proterozoic island-arc assemblage that stretches for an exposed length of 250 kilometres east-west and 75 kilometres north-south. The deposits are copper-zinc VMS type, rich in gold and silver, and hosted in both felsic and mafic volcanic rocks, with the felsic type hosting the largest deposits. VMS orebodies in the area have ranged in size from less than 100,000 tonnes to more than 60 million tonnes.
